NOTE 


] N offering at auction this collection of prints, largely by modern 
artists, there is afforded a rare opportunity to all print col- 
lectors to enrich their portfolios. Fine prints of all kinds have 
become very scarce these last few years, none more so than 
Whistlers and Zorns, many examples of whose work are comprised 
in this collection. Among the old masters are choice prints by 
Rembrandt, Diirer, Rowlandson, Debucourt and Meryon; and 
among the modern masters, fine examples of the work of Sir 
Francis Seymour Haden, Frank Brangwyn, Hedley Fitton, Ernest 
Lumsden, Max Klinger, Alphonse Legros, Sir Frank Short, D. Y. 
Cameron, James McBey, Frank Duveneck and Felicien Rops. 

The.collection is made notable by the presence of several dry- 
points by Rodin in rare and fine impressions. Rodin etchings have 
become very scarce and are much sought for now that the great 
French sculptor is dead. 

The star prints of the sale, however, are the Zorns and Whustlers. 

Among the Zorn etchings are, for example, the exceedingly 
scarce Portrait of Besnard and ‘‘My Model and My Boat,”’ both 
issued in less than thirty-five impressions; and very fine proofs otf 
‘‘Betty Nansen,’’ ‘‘Devant le Poele,’’ ‘‘Byst’’ and others of the 
more recent etchings. 

Among the Whistler lithographs are the rare ‘Ete: Duet,,7 ‘The 
Forge: Passage du Dragon,’’ ‘*Chelsea Rags’’ and ‘‘The Shoe- 
maker.’’ Among the etchings are ‘‘Long Lagoon’”’ and ‘‘ Fishing 
Boat’? from the Venice Sets; ‘‘Rotherhithe,’’ ‘‘Becquet,”’ ‘<The 
Limeburner,’’ ‘‘The Forge,’’ ‘‘Black Lion Wharf’’ of the Thames 
Set; a trial proof of ‘‘The Baleony’’; two of the late period, ‘‘The 
Fruit Shop’”’ and ‘‘Return to Tilbury,’’ which, because they were 
never formally published, are exceedingly scarce; also a very fine 
impression of ‘‘Turkeys,’’ a presentation proof to the celebrated 
writer George Moore, with autograph inscription by Whistler. 

Altogether the collection is a fine one and should command the 


attention of all discriminating print lovers.
